TAMPA – Raheem Morris isn’t the only Bucs assistant coach who has caught the eye of an NFL rival.
The Seattle Seahawks appear to have some interest in possibly making Bucs linebackers coach Casey “Gus’’ Bradley their new defensive coordinator, a source with knowledge of the Seahawks plan said.
The Seahawks still have not asked for permission to speak to Bradley, but the request is merely a formality as Bradley’s contract is set to expire.
Bradley, who has spent the last two years coaching Bucs linebackers, could interview with the Seahawks as soon as today. If so he will become the second coach with ties to the Bucs to interview with the Seahawks in as many days.
Former Bucs defensive line coach and former Detroit Lions head coach Rod Marinelli met with the Seahawks brass on Monday. Marinelli has also interviewed with the Chicago Bears about their coordinator’s job, but word is he may be looking to get back in the game as a defensive line coach.
Should the Bucs lose Bradley there’s a chance they can fill the opening by re-signing Joe Barry as their new linebackers coach. Barry coached Bucs linebackers for six years before joining the Lions as defensive coordinator under Marinelli, who is his father in law.
